Pathogenic mutations and sequence variants within mitofusin 2 gene in Polish patients with different hereditary motor-sensory neuropathies.

Abstract excerpt

At the time of its first description in 2004, MFN2 was considered the most frequently mutated gene in hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy type 2 (HMSN 2). However recent studies have shown that the frequency of MFN2 gene mutations in HMSN II patients is surprisingly low. To date, no systematic studies devoted to HMSN IIa in Poland have been carried out. In this study, we searched for MFN2 gene mutations in...
